I am tring to port the programs the was orginally written for and IBM 
The program is not interupt driven, so when it wants to find out what the 
mouse status is it just looks at it and updateds a global structure.

I have been trying to do the same thing on the the amiga but all
I seem to come up with is events. Both by intuition and by opening 
the gameport I have to deal with events. 

The one thing I did come up with was locking intuition and the looking
at the x an y val of the mouse, that works but the condition of the buttons
is not stored in the intuition structer?(or I missed it).

any suggestions most welcome.
